I would highly recommend Genesis Delight to cater your wedding. The food was fantastic and I felt like the quality endured from the two person tasting to the 100 person wedding. I got comments like, “your food was probably the best wedding food I’ve ever had” and notes of how the food was still warm once it hit the table (which is not always the case at weddings) and how much people liked the signature drinks (vodka cinnamon apple mule and bourbon Manhattan).

What we ate: Atlantic salmon with an apple cider glaze, broccolini and confetti orzo; beef medallions (other steaks are an up charge) with a sherry wine demi with mashed potatoes and broccolini, and Frenched chicken with a honey dijon sauce, broccolini, and confetti orzo. All three were so good. We also had 2 vegan plates, which were an additional $12 per plate.

Things to keep in mind:

I would be hesitant doing a sit down dinner at Sweeney Barn because it took almost 30 minutes to get some tables plated. This is due to Sweeney’s kitchen being downstairs but (most people have) the reception upstairs. Because of this, other catering companies only offer buffet dinners at Sweeney. I THINK this might be avoided with more staff (we had 8 waiters for a 100 person wedding). Just something to consider, if you have a sit-down dinner at Sweeney.

Also, several people did not get cake. We ended up taking home almost a whole sheet of cake (each sheet served 50 people). This is because the staff was handing people plates as they passed them instead of putting them on the tables. I would recommend instructing your caterers to put the cakes on the tables or a single dessert table and having the DJ announce it to avoid this situation.

We did not do our food tasting until after we signed the contract. There are pros and cons to this. If you do the food tasting before signing the contract you have to pay for it. If you do it after, its included in your package; however if you don't like the food then you're kind of screwed, so we got lucky the food was delicious. We did NOT get to try everything - we tried our 5 appetizers and each of the entrees but we did not try the salad or the entrée sides. We also didn't like one of the appetizers so switched it for another, which we did not get to sample.

Overall, Genesis did an exceptional job and as long as the food was so good, I couldn’t ask for much more. My favorite was one of our appetizers - tomato soup with a mini grilled cheese. Presentation was SO cute and it was delicious. During dinner I was so excited I was having a hard time eating the dinner and when I asked for one more tomato soup with grilled cheese, Genesis made it happen. Amazing.

We chose Genesis Delight Catering for our Wedding in June. During the planning process, Lindsay was wonderful to work with, she was so helpful and communicative and helped us plan the perfect menu.. Genesis also helped us with rentals for our day, and they handled a lot of the organization of the logistics and flow of the day.. The food was very tasty – the setup was great and they were organized when providing drinks as well. We highly recommend Genesis – they were a fantastic vendor to work with.

Hiring Genesis Delight for our wedding was the best decision we made. The day was better than we ever imagined and we know that would not have been the case without Lindsay and her team. We can honestly say that it was the best food we’ve ever had at a wedding and the most beautifully presented. Lindsay made the process so easy and worked with us to customize every detail while being conscious of our budget. From the initial proposal, to the tastings, to the day of, every detail was perfect. Genesis Delight is truly amazing at what they do. We cannot recommend them enough!

We chose Genesis to cater our wedding and they did a phenomenal job! The food was DELICIOUS, I’m not usually a fan of wedding food but I can’t sing their praise loud enough. The food was just as yummy as when we did our tasting and all of our guests really enjoyed it! The staff was fantastic and checked in on myself and husband all night. I will hire Genesis for every catering event in the future!! 10/10, crushed is, knocked it out of the ball park, etc. I am so grateful we found Genesis, they made a giant impact on making our wedding so wonderful! Shoutout to Lindsay for helping me throughout the process, she was so easy and amazing to work with!

We used them for our wedding in August 2023. We had an amazing experience with Genesis. Lindsey gave us a lot of feedback and was great to work with. Our guests loved the food. We received so many compliments. Highly recommend them!

My husband and I had a great experience with Genesis!! They were the first company we tried and we ended up coming back to them in the end because nothing else compared!!Not only is the food great - but they make everything so easy. They also don't nickel and dime you for everything, which is unlike a lot of wedding caterers. Many places will charge you a fee to cut your cake or even for ice! Genesis doesn't charge for any of that and they are one of the more reasonably priced companies. Plus - the food is amazing! We got so many compliments from our guests.Hire them for your wedding! You won't be disappointed!
